Year 5. Grateful to NC as she transitioned at a very difficult time. Following a legend is the most dangerous of all coaching possibilities. Drew started when we were literally at the lowest point ever imagined. Up is the only possibility. But following a coach who had won 3 nattys is almost unfathomed even if you were the previous coaches sideline sidekick, and even that seldom ever works out. Ever. Ask Tennessee. Congrats on 4 years coach! At the same time, however, it is time for BU to step up commitment to wbb via NIL. A 5th year elite 8 would be nice, and reasonably expected, after a coach has her own players and staff in place. We have started very well with NC; now we must step up our game and reclaim elite status. I believe that with the right resources NC can do it.
